Prin linia materna, Printesa Margarta fiica Reginei Ana de Romania se trage din Movilesti, iar prin acestia din urma din Stefan Cel Mare si Sfant si prin el din Dragos, Descalecatorul Moldovei.
Iata cateva detalii despre ascendenta materna a ASR Printesa Margareta din voivozii Moldovei:
Regina Ana, Printesa de Danemarca si de Bourbon-Parma se trage, asa cum spune numele din Bourboni,
Mai precis din ramura spaniola a Bourbonilor care erau si Duci de Parma.
Pornind pe linie directa ascendenta a familiei de Bourbon-Parma, deci pe linie barbateasca, ajungem la Ferdinand I de Bourbon, Duce de Parma (1751-1802) nepotul Lui Filip V regele Spaniei si Duce de Anjou (1683, Versailles - 1746 Madrid).
Acest Ferdinand I Infante de Spania (1751-1802),care preceda cu sase generatii pe Ana de Bourbon-Parma a noastra [sper si a domniei tale] ) era casatorit cu printesa Louise Elisabeth de France (1727-1759), fiica lui Ludovic al XV regele Frantei si a sotiei lui Maria Leczynska ( 1703-1768) regina Frantei, care la randul ei era fiica lui Stanislas Lesczynski regele Poloniei si Duce de Lorena (1677-1766).
Acum, ca sa ajungem la Movilesti trebuie sa trecem pe ramurile femeiesti:
Bunica materna a lui Stanislas Lesczinski (socrul lui Ludovic XV) era Maria Ana Printesa Jabolonowska (1643-1687) nascuta contesa Kasanowska, iar bunica materna a acesteia din urma era Domnita Maria Movila ( 1591-1638) (fata lui Ieremia Voda), domnita moldoveanca al carui sot era Contele Stefan Potocki, Palatin de Wroclaw si prin care casatorie era cunoscuta in Polonia drept Marya Mohylanka.
Aceasta inseamna, bine inteles, ca prin stramosii ei Movilesti, Regina Ana de Romania se trage, prin Iermia Voda Movila, chiar din Petru Rares si din Stefan cel Mare si Sfant, iar prin acesta din urma din Dragos Voda primul descalecator al Moldovei.
Despre domnita Maria Movila contesa Potocka ne vorbeste istoricul Constantin GANE (1885-1962) in celebra lui lucrare "Trecute Vieti de Doamne si Domnite".

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.

I read several Twain novels when I was a teen, but I became a fan when I read his social commentary in college.
So many quotations are attributed to Twain that are things he never said nor wrote. I made sure mine were all genuine Twainisms. They can be found with many others, researched by Twain Scholar Barbara Schmidt at: www.twainquotes.com/quotesatoz.html
One of my favorite quotes, not in the image above:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
The title quotation is meant as a humorous play on words. An egg does indeed make a fragile gift. (unless hard boiled, or better still a Faberge egg !)
But it does not really address Janets thought provoking and challenging theme of 'defining beauty'.
So my serious quotation is from the landscape artist John Constable
"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful." John Constable
Constables quote is a bit of a 'catch all' and I dont claim to have done justice to light shade and perspective.
I was tempted to feature a 'painted lady' butterfly (see my photostream) which most people will regard as beautiful. But decided to remain with the hens egg, even though as Confucius pointed out some will not see it as beautiful.
I think it is. There are eggs with a prettier colour or pattern. But a hens egg still shows a beauty of form, and is one of natures beautiful and practical designs. Wonder and beauty are close kin.
Please zoom in to better see the breathing pores and imperfections.And try not to think of them as ugly
"What greater gift than the love of a cat.." -- Charles Dickens
I think we all can agree with this quote! :-)
Happy Caturday!
Hate to post and run, but I will be gone all day Saturday, so I will comment late.
I found these funny quotations and wanted to share these with you. I hope it makes you laugh.Have a wonderful day Everyone!
في ذكرى مرور مائة عام على احتلال فرنسا للجزائر ، وقف الحاكم الفرنسي في الجزائر يقول : "يـجـب أن نـزيـل الـقرآن العربي من وجودهم..ونقتلع اللسان العربي من ألسنتهم ؛ حتى ننتصر عليهم "
وبعد ذلك بسنوات قلائل :
قـامـت فـرنـسا - من أجل القضاء على القرآن في نفوس شباب الجزائر - بتجربة عملية ؛ فـتم انـتـقاء عـشـرة فـتـيات مسلمات جزائريات ، أدخلتهن الحكومة الفرنسية في المدارس الفرنسية ، ولقنتهن الثـقـافة الفرنسية ، وعلمتهن اللغة الفرنسية ، فأصبحن كالفرنسيات تماماً.
وبـعـد أحـد عـشـر عـاماً مـن الجهود ، هيأت لهن حفلة تخرج رائعة دعي إليها الوزراء والمفكرون والصحفيون...
ولمـا ابـتدأت الحـفلـة ، فـوجـئ الجميع بالفتيات الجزائريات يدخلن بلباسهن الإسلامي الجزائري..
فثارت ثائرة الصحف الفرنسية ، وتساءلت : "ماذا فعلت فرنسا في الجزائر إذن بعد مرور مائة وثمانية وعشرين عاما؟!
أجـاب "لاكـوسـت " وزير المسـتـعمـرات الـفرنـسي :"ماذا أصنع إذا كان القرآن أقوى من فرنسا؟"

New york. Sometimes a lovable city, other times it's a monster that tries to skin you alive. For the lower class it's a home, for the upper class it is a workplace...
TOP FLOOR, WADE INDUSTRIES...
Yes I know that we spent $30,000 on helping the homeless, but how did we end up broke?!
"Remember when you told us to try to make you an Iron Man suit?"
Yeah, speaking of Iron Man suit, are you done with it yet?
"No, that is the reason that we are broke! We spent too much money on it!"
I exhale loudly to make sure that she heard me.
Find me a contract, seems like it is back to my old ways
"Yes sir, give me a few minutes"
I delicately grab the sniper rifle off of my wall.
Sorry mini-me, you'll have to wait for me to get back
You are talking to an action figure you know
I take no shame in it
Yeah! Action figures are human too!
I take a slice of pizza and eat it while I stare out of the window at the cityscape of New York City. Such a beautiful city, millions of people just trying to get to wherever they are going.
*Ring* *Ring*
"Sir?"
What is it Dolly?
"I found you a contract, her name is Pepper Potts"
Denied, I can't kill a possible business partner
"How about someone who tried to ruin the business a few years ago?"
And that would be?
"Eddie Brock"
hmmmm...
Go for it!
For the first time ever I agree with him
How much is the contract?
"$250,000"
What did this guy do?
"He attempted to murder the mayor"
Is he wanted dead or alive?
"Either of them"
Okay, I got this
*Click*
I grab grab my pistol and check to make sure that it's loaded. I put my knife into the holsters on my boots.
Let's go to work!

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

George Bernard Shaw quotation . It refers to my belief that we can, we must.....believe for a healthy Earth, more highly evolved Earthlings. Expecting the worst never brought good results for me, and I am determined now to believe for good things, expect good things. It's so easy to look around and see with our eyes the Earth getting sicker, the end getting closer. But we are "little pieces of God" (Wayne Dyer) , even as a drop of our blood contains our makeup (DNA). If we call upon our Creator, who loves us and all the Earth, and determine to have faith "as a grain of mustard seed".....we can turn things around! Let's try it. Let's envision a healthy planet, people who care about each other and all living things. Let's speak words of faith and positivity. Let's see the essence of God in a sunset and a tree; be still and feel HIs Presence.
I'm not a churchgoer, but I am a Believer. Who senses the impossible miracle of life, and is very grateful.
